HOW TO “EAT CANDLES”/HOE OM N KERS TE EET

(ENG)  Take a few apples an cut the pieces in shapes of already lighed candles that have burned for a while.  Use sweet almond to cut out the shapes of candlewicks which you place inside the top parts of the candle-shapes apple pieces.  The apple-candles now have their cut out almond wicks.  Place them on a shandelier or gancy candle holder.  While you put them to one side,first continue with another performance and casually mention that you are feeling a bit puckish”hungry” and that you have a healthy appetite.  Then look around and casually mention that seeing there is nothing to eat ,you will have to make do with the candles as food.  First light up the almond candlewicks and impress your audience with your very extra-ordinary appetite,then eat the candles one after the other.

(AFR) Neem n paar groot appels, en sny n paar stukke uit in die vorm van die punte van gebrande kerse.Neem n soet amandel en sny daar stukke uit in die vorm van kerspitte en steek hulle in die stukke appel.  Steek hulle aan die brand vir n paar sekondes en blaas weer uit.  Die kerse word nou eenkant gesit op kandelare en terwyl u besig is met n ander vertoning maak u n aanmerking dat u baie honger is en n groot eetlus het.  U kyk rond en besluit dat aangesien daar niks te ete is nie, sal u maar die kerse eet.  Steek hulle eers aan die brand om die indruk te versterk, en eet hulle een na die ander op
